Yep. Although on my 2 trips this season, once you got away from entry points all was much the same. "
I agree. I was anticipating lots of people on campsites, portage trails and such, but was pleasantly surprised. We got great campsites even when we were close to popular EPs (Sawbill and Kawishiwi Lake).
Not as bad as I thought, but from the article above, it certainly sounds like there's a lot of violations going on.
We all have to believe in something. I believe I'll go paddle.

My buddy, Jon, just entered the BW today at Lake One. He normally carries a bottle of brandy for medicinal purposes. I hope she didn’t trick him into sharing it, then ran off with the bottle! He’s going to be solo for twelve days! Lol

I'd agree bill. There seems to be an exceptional (and unexpected) capacity for the extra visitor or two to completely lose their composure in the backcountry this year. I'm hoping it wanes as the fall sets in.

Incident happened on Lake One, which is in Lake County, but accesible only from St Louis County (Ely). Instead of authorities driving from Two Harbors, couldn't the counties coordinate rescue and law enforcement tasks so western lakes in Lake County are served by St Louis county personnel?
Of course, in this unique case, Lake County guys would not have ceded their "concern" for the "dis-dressed" woman to any other county.

Three Lake County sheriff's deputies work out of the Section 30 substation. There is also a substation located in Silver Bay. They're not all driving to various places in the county from 3rd Ave whenever a problem occurs.
